.X TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

i Be it known that LR. J. JoRDAN, ot Elkhart, in the county of Elkhart, and State of Indiana., have invented o. new and improved Water-Regulator for Sitcom-Boilers; :and I do hereby declare that the following is n full, clear, and exe-ct description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the .art to make and use the L same, reference being had to the ziccompianyinr drawings, 'Forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to o. ncwand improved method of regulating the quantity of walt-er which is discharged into o. steam-boiler hy the force-pump; :Lndit consists in operatinglr n. valve in the pipe which conveys the water to the force-pump by n floot in o reservoir, which reservoir is in communication with the steamhoilers, as will be hereinafter described.

, The drawing represents o longitudinal view of the arrangement, (partly in se'ction,) showing thereservoir, with its attachments and n portion of the steam-boiler.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding ports.y

A is the steam-boiler. B is thereservoir. C represents n' float in the reservoir.' The reservoir is :Leone` slinped cylinder, placed in :t horizontal position, as represented in the drawing. D is a pipe which connects the reservoir with the steam-space, and E is o. pipe which connects it with `the water-space of the boiler. The water in thc reservoir, it will he seen, will stand at all times on a. level with the water in the boiler, and the float C will risc and fall with tho waiter. This ilont is attached tothe end of a rod, whichis represented in dotted lines und section, :ts seen uta. The other end of this rod is attached to s snnnllA shaft, which is placed. l transversely in the reservoir, the ond of which is seen at c. This shaft c is partly rotated by the rise und fall of the llont, mnltlieroby imparts motion to o lever, d, whicllis att-ached to thc end of it, es seen in the drow ing. l1 represents the wnter pipe, :indy is a, valve in the water pipe. This valve is attached to n spindle which passes through thc pipe, :1nd k is n. lover which` is attnchcd to th'c spindle. Both thelevers o? and h nre slotted, which `allows them to bc adjustable hy ai screw-holt, z', as seen in the drawing. By connecting the two levers d and 7i in this` manner, the lient will open or close the valve g as it i'zills or risesfand the quantity of writer which is allowed to'pnss through the pipo to the force-pump will be regulated accordingly. J J are cocks, hy which the steam and water muy he shut oil' from thc reservoir when desircd. K is n small turret' on thc reservoir, to which the steam pipe D is attnched, and within the turret there is a. coil of copper wire, with one end turned' down through the coil. This arrangement is for the purpose of preventing incrustation in the reservoir. L-A represents s hund-hole in thc largo end of the reservoir, for the purpose of cleaning it when necessary. lm is o waste pipe, with cock attached, for drawing oft' the winter from 4the reservoirwhen desired.

The reservoir is made of proper size, and of sulicient strength to stand the boiler pressure. It is supe.` ported in its proper position by stands, which hre mnrlcedN N in tint drawing.

Having thus described my inventioinl claim as new, and desire to Scouse by Letters Pstent I 1. The arrangement ot the reservoir B, iot C, rod a, valve g, levers el it, with reference to the stezim V generator, substantially as shown and described.

Q. The combination ot' the reservoir B with the turret K and wire coil, substantially so described.
